ORLANDO -- Midnight came and went, but as Sunday turned into Monday, still no one has come forward to claim a $50,000 reward to find Michelle Parker.

Orlando police said they received dozens of tips, but not the one they wanted that would lead them to the missing mother of three.

The $50,000 reward has since expired, leaving Parker's family with a decision to make on what to do next with that donated money. That could include extending the deadline, or even increasing the reward amount.

Edit- Just to explain for anybody not familiar with Star Wars. DS's outlined plan is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader's journey in the prequel trilogy, or at least the last film. His wife is pregnant with twins (Luke and Leia, who are two of the main characters in the original series), Anakin turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader, his wife dies in childbirth for no damn reason except she loses the will to live. Literally. It's ridiculous, and the source of much joking amongst fans.

Quote:Originally Posted by Kamille A people search on DS Sr shows that he lived at Camp Lejeune at some point so I suppose it's possible that either the records got confused and it was actually DS Jr or his Dad was also a marine and was stationed there at some point in his military career.

I also noticed that the article regarding the dishonorable discharge mentioned that DS Jr had a string of military convictions for drug possession and domestic battery. I would assume there is no access to military conviction records? So there could be more information on his criminal past during the time he was in the marines that we do not have access to?

BBM. Yes and no. You will not find online records of military courts-martials and NJP proceedings and/or convictions. I'm retired military and worked in substance abuse/mental health/domestic violence/child abuse services and was a part of many Article 15 and courts-martial proceedings. You can get access to those records by filing a FOIA request through the base legal office. They may or may not give them to you depending on why you want them and if they do give them to you they will likely be heavily redacted to exclude the names of victims, witnesses and experts involved in the case.

Someone asked earlier about the overlap or lack of overlap in military and civilian arrests and convictions. Typically if a crime occurs on the base itself, the military will handle it. If a crime occurs off the installation, the civilians take over. Not always, but that's usually what happens. So, if you assault your wife/husband on the base and the perpetrator is active duty, the case will be handed over to the squadron commander. She/he will then work with the base legal office to decide what charges, if any, to bring. The civilian authorities will not be notified that the service member was arrested for domestic violence. The case will be entered into the NCIC and those with access to NCIC can view it. I no longer have access since I retired.

So yes, you can have a string of arrests for DV or drug abuse in the military, but the average citizen does not have access to that info.

Child abuse is different. If child abuse was committed on base we HAD to report it to CPS and a caseworker was assigned. The person would typically be turned over to the civilian authorities for prosecution (no real reason why; I think the military just didn't like dealing with it).

Also, if a person is arrested off base for DV or DUI or drug possession and is charged for those crimes in civilian court, the military cannot courts-martial the person in addition. That's double jeopardy. What they do instead is use an Article 15 (Non-judicial punishment) instead for "conduct unbecoming" or some such, and punish you that way. Get enough of those and the military will kick you out.

If DS was arrested/convicted of DV or drugs by the military, those records will be found in NCIC or as I said before, petitioning the base legal office through a FOIA request.

Quote:Originally Posted by truthsleuth I have a question for you. Is the military swift in court-martialing someone, or does a case linger on for several years? For example, in a domestic battery case, can one expect to be court-martialed immediately, would it take months, or would it take years? Any idea?

TIA for your response.

There is swift justice in the military. For a simple case you'd expect a courts-martial to proceed within a couple of months.

I've never seen someone courts-martialed for simple domestic battery. At most you get a Letter of Reprimand or (rarely) an Article 15 for that. On a second or third offense, they'll typically just kick you out.

It would take a particularly heinous or vicious battery/attack for someone to actually be courts-martialed for domestic violence. DV is very, very common in the military and it's typically handled through the Family Advocacy Office (social workers) rather than the legal system. It's nice for the offenders because it leaves no court conviction record. That always irked me.

Thanks for the explanation. I was scratching my head.

Yes, thanks for this.

Kinda makes sense why he said it now.

I just don't "get" adults dressing up and taking on fictional characters' personalities.

Actually Tupes, the military frowns upon it in a very heavy way - no exceptions for anyone at all. This is why I asked if he was dishonorably discharged in the beginning of this case as I saw some of his court history & thought it may have come out in his military life. A husband nor wife can put their hands on each other, cuss out each other on a regular basis, or partake in mental abuse toward one another. The military is even more harsh when children are involved in the picture.

My ex sil was called a fat bitch at a bar in Kansas about 2 years ago. Her then husband was in the service. It was a bar that happens to have several military patrons. He was corrected on the spot by a superior. It happened again and he was court martialed. Literally. They are divorced now.

Thank gosh the body found wasn;t Michelle but it's sad to hear somebody's body was found in the first place. Wth is our world coming to.

FYI - I love Florida, most especially Orlando and the surrounding area, but it's #10 on the highest crime cities stats in the USA. Any area around, by, adjacent to OBT is bad...literally, it's just a void where I'm concerned. There's a lot of shady chit that goes on there. It still draws a HUGE crowd, though. Plus, there's popular bars besides the teet clubs. It's also where Cowboys Bar is, not that it matters, but kinda makes one think about things...
